CALIFORNIA LUMBER AND FRUIT
MEN COMPLAIN.

Ruin of Their Business Declared Inev-

Representatives of Boston Interests
Given a Hearing Suspension Until
Congress Meets Rather Improbable.
WASHINGTON, April 20.--E NJ. Herrick,
President of the Pacific Pine Lumber Com
pany, and E. C. Williams, President of the
Redwood Manufacturing Association of San
Francisco, have telegraphed the Interstate
Commerce Commission as follows: "Our
two corporations, employing 5000 to l0,-
600 men and about S30,000,000 capital,
have addressed you by mail stating that our
Eastern business has been entirely destroyed
by the operation of the law and asking
your interposition in our behalf. Mean
while will you all allow the roads over which
we have been operating to give the old rates
aud so revive our business with the East,
provided the rate is open and available for
all.n
CALIFORNIA; FRUIT INTERESTS.
A. Lusk & Co, of San Francisco, have
telegraphed: 1.-THE fruit interests Of this
State, which are of great and growing inn
portance, are seriously jeopardized by the
workings of the interstate commerce law
Inasmuch as this interest cannot avail itself
of water competition, we respectfully ask
that section four be suspended that these III
terests be not entirely paralyzed and great
loss ensue.n
LONG SUSPENSION UNCERTAIN,
The commission have not had time yet for
consultation as to their final decision ON the
appeal of the railroads for suspension of
the long and short haul clause until Con
Oft tr h,NII
such a consultation until they return
from their visit to the Southern railway
centres, on which they expect to start on
Monday The rest of the time before their
departure they will give up to hearings,
such as that of to-day in the case of MaSSa-
chusetts when counsel were heard and wit
nesses examined. Shrewd observers of the
leasings so far think that the Commissioners
will decide finally against the railroads.

CHEwS HIS OWN WORDS.
a Legislator Makes False Charge of
Bribery Against Fellow Members.


Bribery Against Fellow Members.
LANSING, Mich, April 20-A sensational
bribery case has come up in the House OF
Representatives. F. l.. Eaton, of Saginaw
City, interested in revisions of the charter
of that place, charged that Representative
H. NJ. Dabin, Dem, had given him
list of members of the Legislature,
with the price for which each
would vote in favor of Mr.. Eatons
measures. After debate committee of
investigation was appointed Mr. Eaton's
statements had been sworn to, and it gave
the names of all the persons mentioned 10y
Representative Dalxin. The Speaker sum-
moned them all before him. Mr.. Dakin ac-
knowledged the schedule Of fifteen members
with the estimated brihes attached as his
own work, and signed a statement to that
effect. He further stated that he had never
approached any of the number on the subject
of the charter After the charge was made
in the House an opportunity was given for
denial, and the clerk read note signed by
Mr.. Dakin denying the charges in toto. He
refused to allow his first statement to be
made public and will not talk on the sub
ject. The members are highly indignant
and Mr.. Dakin will probably be expelled
from his seat in the Legislature

A UNION PACIFIC SCHEME
The Main Stem to be Unloaded on the
Government.

LINCOLN, NEB, April 20 There is we'll
defined rumor to the effect that the Union
Pacific stockholders are quietly preparing to
surrender the old Union Pacific main line
for the government debt, and abandon their
Omaha and Council Bluffs termini making
several branches Of the Union Pacific, which
are owned by them Independent of the gov
ernment line, new system of lines
with Lincoln rs their Eastern ter1ni-
nus. The main feature involved
in this plan consists of first, through line
from Lincoln to Denver, with a connection
at Lincoln with the old Iowa pool lines, and,
second the linking together of all the
Union Pacific branches with this Lincoln
and Denver line making, with the Oregon
Short Line and Denver and Rio Grande, a
new system TO be called the Lincoln, Denver
and Pacific, this to be con
Quoted under cover of the old st.
Joseph and Grand Island road,
which, it is definitely known, is owned by
the old Union Pacific regime, who have
never parted with control of the Union Pa
cific branch lines It is claimed that by the
time Congress is ready to act upon the Union
Pacific matter these lines will be completed,
and the Union Pacific, shorn of its branches,
will be ready to be turned over TO the gov
ernment as white elephant.
